The pans were identical otherwise. Apologies, I didn’t take comparison photos, Doh!
The original 80 pan’s dipstick tube is about 3” longer, and bends outward more than the one for the 100
Allrighty then. Time for a post-mortem report.
@Kernal was exactly right. The dipstick tube is the problem. The pan is otherwise identical to the 80's pan, but the lower dipstick tube has incorrect bends, and is shorter than the one that's on the 80 pan. I ended up repairing the old pan...
Update: I picked up the UJZ100/LX470 pan today.
Here are the first 5 pictures (I can't post more than 5, but I'll create another post)
The pan looks almost identical to the one for the FJZ80. The gasket for the 80 lines up perfectly with the UJZ100 A343F pan.
When I crawled under the truck...
Will do for sure. I should have the part in a couple of days. The Toyota parts network to dealers in SoCal has been super robust in my experience so far
Right on, I appreciate the reply.
Well, the part is returnable, so I ordered it, and will report back on my findings. One way or another, this will get sorted

Started yesterday with a transfer case drail/fill and a trans drain/fill. Both went poorly....The bolts on the xfer case guard broke off, and someone had messed up the drain plug on my trans pan (before I owned it).
Today's repair was getting the xfer case guard back in order. Drill the old...
Howdy mudders. I've got a 97 FJZ80, and was doing a trans drain/fill. I noticed that someone had previously screwed up my drain plug, and had poorly installed a timesert (or equivalent). When I reinstalled the plug, it started to spin. Now the hole is seeping, which is NEVER good. ;)
Thus...
Hiya Mudders!
I'm heading from San Diego to San Francisco (city) to pick up some friends and go camping. Leaving Friday AM 5/28.
Returning from SF the morning of Saturday June 5.
Happy to transport anything that will fit and pickup/dropoff on my way (origination doesn't have to be SD). If...
